Is Hip Hop Poison?

Hip Hop is not poison to the minds of the realists. Hip Hop has crossed over many barriers including genders and ethnicities. Hip Hops has raised awareness to the world of the social issues African Americans face on a daily basis. Regardless of what type of music we listen to today whether it is Hip Hop, Rock and Roll, Country and Blues we must teach our youths that music is strictly a form of entertainment and not all of it is reality. We must teach our children the difference in fantasy and reality; the difference between right and wrong including the consequences surrounding their decisions. Many artists in the early 60s (i.e. Little Richard, Elvis Pressley, KISS) were blasted for their music and it too also was labeled as being poison to the mind of youths. We must remind our youths that all forms of music is strictly entertainment and not reality.
